Hi Gaby, In configure.ac, I find
AC_CHECK_PROGS([MAKE], [make], AC_MSG_ERROR([Make utility missing.])]) but have you looked at the resulting file "configure"? The code then looks like test -n "$MAKE" || MAKE="{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: Make utility missing." >&5 echo "$as_me: error: Make utility missing." >&2;} { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }" which doesn't look right to me. There is a double-quoted string inside a double-quoted string. I am sure sh does not treat that correctly. In GCC configure.ac they have something like... MISSING=`cd $ac_aux_dir && ${PWDCMD-pwd}`/missing AC_CHECK_PROGS([YACC], ['bison -y' byacc yacc], [$MISSING bison -y]) Shouldn't we do the same? You even have already included the script "config/missing" into the repository.
